Which is the Best Free Photo Gallery Editor?

Robert Niles, in ‘Which is the best free photo gallery editor? Part two‘, reviews Picasa, PictureTrail, BubbleShare and SlideFlickr, in an attempt to find which one would work best for a start-up or small -scale news website.

Niles was searching for a Web-based tool that allows a user to upload photos  and have them displayed as a Flash photo gallery that can be embedded on another website.

Ideally, the tool would allow the creator to add captions and to control the display style, size and speed of the images. 

I decided to investigate for myself and like Niles, I found that Picasa was the easiest to use and had the most effective results.

Bubbleshare has the ability to quickly and easily upload multiple images, however my captions were not able to be viewed and I did not like how the slide show would not start automatically.

The biggest frustration of Bubbleshare is that photos are not placed in the gallery in order and I found it quite confusing to work out how to correct this.  

I found Slidelickr quite complicated to use and the gallery was tediously slow to open.
